Aplós ​

A Sleek, Contemporary, and Purposefully Designed Vitepress Theme.
It provides a straightforward solution for creating a quick web page, offering essential features for comfortable writing while maintaining a sense of simplicity.

Warning

Aplós has transitioned into maintenance mode, indicating that it will only receive critical updates and bug fixes. The development focus has shifted to other projects, particularly Steno, a new static site generator that is likely to become Aplós’ future home. Although Aplós is currently in maintenance mode, it doesn’t mean it will remain in this state indefinitely. Development will resume, but it’s unlikely to be a VitePress theme. Instead, it’s more likely to become a Steno theme. If you’re interested in contributing to Aplós, you can still do so, but please be aware that it may not receive regular updates.
